did you check your fuses? if its not that its probably the slot you have them in, try a different one, or recheck your wiring/crimp/solder.

i tried the bottom 5 slots and one one the left side, nothing... no fog lights with or without headlights/highbeams/daylights... i also noticed... -gulp- my reverse lights dont come on... and i forgot to mention, the fog light icon in the display, does't come on either, but the daylights does and so does the highbeam when i use it. someone help me >.<

as for ind. fogs for 09s, i belive theres someone in the process in doing it, but i heard that a while ago...

check your fuses, there's instructions in the owner's manual on how to do this.

hey i think your problem is you need two 10 amp fuses in your add-a-circuit fuse. I remember doing this and when I first tried it out I only had one fuse and it didn't work. Hope that helps.

... you have to buy another one. Two fuses should plug into the add a circuit they are both required for the add a circuit to work. You should put the add a circuit I believe into the 3 or 5 slot don't remember but check the first page and it says.

Naa I wouldn't take out any other fuses. You can get 10 amp fuses just about any where a hardware store a car store. I got mine from a local autozone.

You want ATM 10amp fuses. Make sure they are ATM because that is the size/type. I think some brands might say mini too don't remember.

hey fitcapo is right. you just need to pick up another 10amp mini fuse. I've got mine currently plugged into slot 3.

On a side note, in the DIY it said that if you wanted to run the foglights like they do in europe where the fogs come on with the parking lights it says to plug into slot 22. When I do that the fogs are on right away once the ignition is started. What I would like to be able to do is leave my foglight switch to on but only have the fogs on when I switch to my parking lights or headlights. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks

If you do it the way they said in the diy you will be able to leave the switch turned on all the time and then they will turn on with the car and turn off with the car.

HIGH BEAMS + fog lights

so i got independant fogs to work, meaning without any light, with DRL, and with headlights. but i still want to have the fog lights on with high beams, i tried webskies [or some name like that] mini-DIY and turns out its the headlights with highbeams, not fog lights. id use it but it doesnt let me use the fog lights AT ALL, so i put it back, to regular ind. fogs. does anyone know, AT ALL, how to make the fog lights active with highbeams as well as active with headlights and DRL. any if by anychance, what about ALL lights? foglights,headlights,highbeams, and DRL all on anyone know how to do that? that i would REALLY love, ill do.... anything... -gulps- ...

... so if you have 8500k lights and you are running those as high beams why the hell would you need fog lights?
